  Welcome to the Health Alert Network. This Project is intended to:

See our Health Alert Network Fact Sheet for more information about the Health Alert Network.

The Health Alert Network will function as PHIN’s Health Alert component. This includes collaborating with federal, state, and city/county partners to develop protocols and stake holder relationships that will ensure a robust interoperable platform for the rapid exchange of public health information.

Current Status

Currently, HAN is a strong national program, providing vital health information and the infrastructure to support the dissemination of that information at the State and Local levels, and beyond. A vast majority of the State-based HAN programs have over 90% of their population covered under the umbrella of HAN. The HAN Messaging System currently directly and indirectly transmits Health Alerts, Advisories, and Updates to over one million recipients. The current system is being phased into the overall PHIN messaging component.
